Grande’s manager Scooter Braun said in a statement: ‘We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act…. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.’

Harry Styles, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have paid tribute to the victims of the attack.

Greater Manchester Police have said they are currently treating the situation as a ‘terrorist incident’ and confirmed the attack was carried out by a man acting alone.

My thoughts, prayers and tears for all those affected by the Manchester tragedy tonight. I'm sending all my love.
